Adaptability & Grace Under Hardship Earrings

SKU: PNDT00004
$22.00
$22.00
Unavailable
These earrings incorporate NKYINKYIM, the traditional Adinkra symbol for "Adaptability & Grace Under Hardship." The name translates as "twistings," and represents one's ability to navigate the many twists and turns of life with grace and ingenuity.

This symbols were carved out of sheet metal by one of Soul of Somanya's talented artisans, who used nothing but a jewelry saw and a little solder. The NKYINKYIM is a very popular of symbol, and requires great skill and patience to create.

The rustic look of our carved symbols is intentional, and adds to the authenticity and charm of each piece.
